HISTORY:

In the yogic culture, Shiva is not known as God, but as Adi yogi or the first yogi – the originator of yoga. He was the one who first put this seed into the human mind that one can evolve if one is willing to strive.

According to the yogic lore, over 15,000 years ago, Adi Yogi attained to his full enlightenment and abandoned himself in an intense ecstatic dance upon the Himalayas.

When his ecstasy allowed him some movement, he danced wildly. When it became beyond movement, he became utterly still.
